I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that there were restrictions on turning corner blocks into townhouse residences. Does anyone know if this is the case ?
Hi,
There is normally no difference between sub dividing a normal block or coner block apart from applying for a cross over permit.
Sub dividing a block into town houses requires a planning permitt (different and a more complicated process to Building permit.) It is put to your local council and they assess the drawings on a number if issues (over shadowing, over looking, general bulk of the house ect.)
This is assuming that you local council doesn't have any speacil conditions on that area which is unlikley but you should check.
My advice would be to go to your local councils web site and familiarise yourself with the planning process (and the time it can take to get a planning permit, might effect your holding costs) and check if they have any special conditions over that area.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Shannon
